Lake is at 72% capacity. The recent stocking of DFW trout has injected some life into this lake and shore anglers are doing well! Some boaters have been having success catching Macks around the China Cove area in about 65-90 feet of water with Rainbow and Koke imitations. Jigging has also been taking some nice Macks also when they've been holding deep. Kokanee fishing is good as trolling at about 55-80 feet down is now the method with dodgers in Gold, Silver, or variations of the same with Pink, Orange, or Green followed by Pink, Orange, and Chartreuse spinners, wedding rings, Spin Hoochies, Hoochies, Kokanuts, and Glow Tubes in lighter colors in the morning and darker colors in the afternoon. Kokes are coming in a bit larger now at 11-14 inches now. Best fishing for these landlocked salmon has been in the humps between Loch Leven and China Cove in 55-65 feet and some as deep as 80 feet. Macks are being found under these schools of Kokes in this area too. As the season progresses they may come up in size to maybe 15-16 inches if food is plentiful and competition for food low. For the shore fisherman this week you should have plenty of stockers to go for with the upcoming stocking of DFW trout (530) 587-4844
